Father Jamie Arriaga, 41, was removed from his position as associate pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Downey on Wednesday, April 2, after the archdiocese received a report alleging his sexual misconduct against a minor,the Archdiocese of Los Angeles wrote in a statement. “The archdiocese has a long-standing commitment to the protection of minors and reporting the prevention of abuse,” reads the Archdiocese statement “Allegations of misconduct against anyone serving in the Archdiocese are reported to law enforcement anyone who is found to have harmed a minor is permanently removed from any capacity in the Archdiocese.” The report alleges an incident of sexual abuse against a teenage girl occurred on Saturday according to court documents and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. OLPH School sent an email to parents earlier this week that the victim is not a student at the school. surrendered to detectives from the LASD Special Victims Bureau on Thursday Arriaga was arraigned at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on Monday and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed 8 felony counts of sexual abuse against him detectives believe there might be additional victims,” the LASD wrote in the news release Arriaga served as a transitional deacon at St. Louis of France in La Puente between June to December 2023, and was assigned to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Downey during January 2024 was removed from his position as associate pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Downey Copyright © 2023 The Downey Patriot Newspaper We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money Arriaga created this Life Tributes page to make it easy to share your memories © 2025 Mission Park Funeral Chapels & Cemeteries Made with love by funeralOne This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

Father Jaime Arriaga, 41, remains in the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail on no bail after pleading not guilty Monday to assault with intent to commit a felony and four felony counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a person 14 to 15 by a person at least a decade older, according to court records. “The archdiocese has a long-standing commitment to the protection of minors and reporting the prevention of abuse,’ the Archdiocese said in a statement explaining its officials reported the priest to authorities. California The youth soccer coach who was charged in a 13-year-old’s death has also been arrested on suspicion of a separate 2024 sexual assault was surrendered to deputies on Thursday and arrested on suspicion of assault on a minor to commit a sexual offense and the assault with intent to commit a felony upon a minor involved a sexual offense Erick Kim said the charges involve one victim but Special Victims Unit detectives are seeking additional potential victims Clergy sex abuse scandals have rocked Catholic churches across the world, but few places have seen the financial toll of the Los Angeles Archdiocese According to the Archdiocese, Arriaga was ordained in June 2024 and served as associate pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Downey. The $4 billion, if approved, would appear to dwarf the largest sex abuse settlements in U.S. history. The Archdiocese of L.A. released a statement saying it received a report alleging misconduct on April 2. Arriaga was removed from ministry and surrendered to L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies the following day. In a statement read this past weekend at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and at St. Louis of France in La Puente — where Arriaga had served before being ordained — the Archdiocese informed parishioners that the priest had “been removed from ministry as a result of a recent report of alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor ...” Parishioners were informed that the Archdiocese is cooperating with law enforcement. Links to a profile of the priest, including his photo, were removed from the Archdiocese website. According to information previously posted by the Archdiocese, Arriaga is a native of Tenancingo, Tlaxcala, in Mexico.

file photo Shirley Arriaga (D-Chicopee) talked with Reminder Publishing to discuss her goals and priorities for her second term Arriaga is a lifelong resident of Chicopee and U.S She is the Democratic state representative on Beacon Hill for the 8th Hampden District She was elected to state office in November 2022 Joseph Wagner had for more than three decades Arriaga said it was an honor to be reelected and thanks the voters for coming out in November to allow her to continue her work as the state representative “We are truly honored and blessed to have been reelected to serve the 8th Hampden District It’s truly an honor to represent my hometown Everyday is something new and you’re hoping you’re doing everything right and you’re not letting things fall through a crack and you hope that your job and your work speaks for itself and I think it did as my community came out strongly and no one really had any negative things to say so we are super happy and eager to continue the work,” she said Arriaga acknowledged there is still a lot of work to do She reflected on items she worked on during her first term that she plans to continue to work on One of her previous and current priorities included housing Manny Cruz (D-Salem) were able to champion a bill called Healthy Homes especially in gateway communities and cities to have a safe home by providing grants and forgivable loans to eligible owner-occupants to address a multitude of health hazards including asbestos as well as conditions to improve energy and lower utility costs we came up with how can we come up with a different solution because we’re going to need a lot of tools to address the housing crisis and the Healthy Homes bill was just one of those tools to help address the unhealthy living conditions of a lot of families which we of course know that has a lot of physical mental conditions associated with it and of course they’re irreversible.” That bill was included in the historic Massachusetts Bond Bill that authorized $5.16 billion in spending over the next five years to counter rising housing costs caused by high demand and limited supply Arriaga discussed the continuing efforts to work on the housing crisis and said “Affordable housing is just a must and something that is needed in our commonwealth That’s one of the things that we were able to champion and we are going to continue to have those conversations because the housing crisis isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and we need to do everything we can to help everyone in the commonwealth,” Besides working with the local and state governments on the housing crisis in Massachusetts Arriaga also highlighted universal free school meals and free community college as successful initiatives during her first term “I think our first terms really spoke volumes Not sure how many other first terms go but our first term was definitely historical Looking back at her first term and applying things she learned Arriaga said something she learned during her first term that she is going to apply to her second term is perseverance We have this notion that we want to something down on paper and cross it off “We can get something to the finish line and we seconds left of session it can be taken away stricken if you will from the record maybe due to budget.” Arriaga outlined that the Healthy Homes bill verbiage was in but the funding was taken away at the very last minute “I learned that nothing is secured even when something seems like it is it’s not but you have to understand everything is about timing we’re going to continue fighting for that funding We’re going to continue for all the other things we have.” Arriaga said there are about 18 or 19 bills she has currently filed that she hopes to see approved including the Play Act which will provide an opportunity for all the kids in the commonwealth to able to participate in team sports at no cost to their families and a lot of families have to choose between food on the table and putting their kids in a team sport it really does help and aligns them with future success.” Arriaga has already allocated an earmark to Chicopee so kids in the city currently can play a sport at no cost to them and their families and hopes to see it be a state law She further said she wanted to let all her constituents know she is here for them and she is looking forward in continuing to serve them and work on issues they have brought to her attention “My job is to push forward legislation and that is exactly what I’m going to do I have about 18 bills just addressing all the issues my constituents have brought up to me not just this past term but really since I started knocking on doors back in 2021 That is about health insecurity for our elders it’s about being smart with our pharmacies and tracking certain medications so they don’t fall into the wrong hands and a lot to do with our veterans and making sure they have the resources and opportunities that they deserve in a timely manner.” I would like to receive emails from The Reminder Minnesota United announced today that the club has transferred midfielder Kervin Arriaga to FK Partizan of Serbia’s first division “We thank Kervin for the contributions he made for Minnesota United over the past three seasons,” said MNUFC Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Khaled El-Ahmad “Kervin grew as a player and found success as a member of our team and we wish him the best of luck as he embarks on a new part of his footballing career.” the Honduran international made 58 game appearances (42 starts) across MLS regular-season and playoffs action since joining MNUFC in 2022 Arriaga scored six goals and provided three assists in over 3,800 minutes played as a Loon Arriaga made over 100 domestic appearances between CD Marathón and Club Atlético Platense Arriaga has been a mainstay with the Honduras National Team He has three goals and two assists with the senior team since making his debut in October of 2020 Transaction: Minnesota United transfers midfielder Kervin Arriaga to FK Partizan for an undisclosed fee The metaphor is more literal for her than most as she has been dancing since age 4 and has her sights set on a career as a professional and because she’s learned over her life to balance that passion with her passion for horses which she also hopes to make part of her career tagging along when her 6-year-old brother Casey now also an up-and-coming junior rider himself asked for a riding lesson as a birthday present Now a freshman at the Savannah College of Art and Design (Georgia) Equestrian Federation Higher Education scholarship as she pursues a major in equestrian studies and minor in musical theater with hopes of being able to pursue both of her passions professionally after she graduates “I couldn’t ignore the fact that [SCAD] was the most obvious choice that aligned with my future career path She and her brother hope to operate a training with Casey dedicated to the horses and Emily splitting time between horses and dance “Part of the reason why I’m really eager about doing this with my brother is because I also want to continue dancing professionally,” she said dance and horseback riding have shared time and I honestly just plan to keep doing that “If [we] are successful and we do create a barn together,” she continued “then that would give me the flexibility to leave for certain periods of time or go pursue other jobs within the dance world.” The two siblings started riding together and progressed up the ranks from 4-H to competing at USEF Pony Finals (Kentucky) it is so important to learn how to lose,” she said If you cry and you complain and you blame other people or if you suck it up and turn that feeling that you got into motivation and determination to keep going and get better.” While her brother currently takes his high school classes online and travels to horse shows much of the year Emily has continued riding but generally stays closer to home due to dance commitments and I love the artistry and the perfectionism of being a dancer and taking it seriously and the discipline aspect of it… just everything about it really ignites passion in me,” said Emily whose dance resume includes everything from tap and ballet to contemporary She credits her diverse skills to not only dancing and competing from such a young age but also to dance conventions she has attended over the years “Whether that means Broadway or on a camera I just want to do any and all of it,” she said Growing up as an athlete focused on both competitive dance and riding pony hunters early in life the 19-year-old developed an approach to the two sports—both of which are subjectively judged—that fellow riders twice her age could benefit from absorbing: to know that’s not the point at which you give up,” she said “And you have to be able to walk out knowing that you’re still a hard worker you still are deserving of space in any room you walk into and just because someone that you put yourself in front of and gave yourself up to be judged by just because they didn’t recognize that doesn’t actually have anything to do with your self-worth.” Excelling in both dance and equestrian sport has taken “a lot of sacrifice” from her family Dance competitions and horse shows alike are generally states and flights away While her dad is usually the parent at the horse shows Having two passions as time-consuming as dance and horses has forced Emily to choose one over the other in the past she tries to do both rather than picking one “There were times when I had a recital on a weekend but there was also a horse show on that weekend,” Emily said get in the car and make it to the [dance] show But there were also times when I was sitting at the in-gate realizing that the ring wasn’t going to go any faster and I had to get off now if I wanted to make it to the recital on time.” becoming a working student for Kyla Makhloghi’s Rosemont Farms in 2023 “I would say that’s when we started expanding the most because he got to go to Florida and learn new things,” Emily said since we were able to separate and have two different paths of learning more recently Casey now competes in 1.10-meter jumper and 3’3” equitation classes recently closing out the 2024 season at Capital Challenge (Maryland) and the National Horse Show (Kentucky) on Rosemont’s sale horses caring for client horses or helping young child riders get their ponies ready to show He plans to become a professional soon after aging out of his junior career and eventually join his sister in starting an equestrian business together “Putting the work in and then watching the development even in somebody else’s animal or somebody else’s career … it’s super rewarding knowing that you helped with that,” Casey said I think it would be helpful to have her as a business partner and kind of doing the logistics side of it Two siblings local to the Arriagas’ hometown of Bahama, North Carolina, Laura Gaither Ulrich and Christina Gaither Webb, run Fox View Farm together and have served as an encouraging example of the type of business Casey and Emily want to have one day. “Watching them be professionals and obviously excel at what they do has been pretty inspiring to us,” Emily said “I kind of feel like I want to follow in their footsteps Emily is taking equestrian studies classes at SCAD that cover competition design “Classes like that I can’t wait to take because I’m assuming that they’ll have great substance to be really valuable towards actually doing what I want to do,” she said “I am very set and determined on getting the best possible foundation I can to help me step into the real professional world.” She is also interested in eco-friendly stable management and is learning more about that at SCAD “It goes hand in hand with ideal horse care in my mind,” she said “When it comes time for me to actually buy or build a barn that’s going to be one of the factors that matters most to me is ‘Can I turn this into something that’s going to be healthy for the environment and the horses and be an example for the professional world?’ ” After competing in Interscholastic Equestrian Association during high school where she was also her class’s valedictorian Emily now rides in the limit division for SCAD’s Intercollegiate Horse Show Association team under coach Ashley Henry “I’m sure she does get tired and burnt out but … she doesn’t show that very often,” Casey said “I think she just has a strong work ethic and she just keeps going even when things are hard whether it’s dance or school or horses and I think that’s really admirable.” the dancer and rider is applying her work ethic toward realizing a double career “I spent my whole life doing horses and dance and I want to continue doing that,” Emily said who’s to say that I can’t make it happen?” you agree to our

called a monolayer: a material that is about an atom thick Stack that onto another similarly thin material and you would get a heterobilayer — something physicists can twist and turn to create new properties Conventional methods call for scientists to “delaminate” large multi-layered crystals to stack them together which can be as simple as rolling a piece of tape over the top of a bulk material to remove a single layer This may sound easy enough outside the lab but it’s stacking them together with atomic precision that is the hard part: a single movement off Ask anyone who works in the field how they achieve this perfection and Binghamton Assistant Professor of Physics Ana Laura Elías Arriaga says their answer is: “With great pain.” has devised a new method of building these layers from scratch called “one-pot synthesis,” won the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award which distinguishes early-career academics as future trailblazers in research and education The grant will award Elías Arriaga $705,000 to streamline the process of fabricating novel heterobilayers as well as study their properties via light and spectroscopy — in short how to perfect the method to create perfection So hopefully more people can become interested [in it] so we can advance the field,” said Elías Arriaga who has been faculty at Harpur College of Arts and Sciences for five years Elías Arriaga’s new method does everything that manual stacking does without the additional risk of human error If you stack them directly on top of one another they will naturally overlap in various arrangements without you needing to twist them this way or that to create new angles and shapes the moiré pattern will come by itself without you introducing any angle there — just because one layer is one kind and the other layer is another kind,” Elías Arriaga explained The moiré pattern refers to the pattern created when two crystalline structures are superimposed on one another which can generate all sorts of new and unusual physical properties To fabricate these heterobilayers from the bottom-up Elías Arriaga and her team use one furnace After carefully selecting their precursor materials — which could be in the form of powders gas or liquid — they drag them into the furnace with an inactive gas like argon They close the door on the furnace and heat it up to 700 degrees Celsius a temperature so extreme it instigates chemical reactions that will grow their desired crystal Tension needs to be part of the equation too Elías Arriaga can do this by cooling the superheated materials down and by building them on various substrates the base materials upon which the reactions take place Certain substrates have certain rates at which they’ll cool perhaps faster than the newly generated crystals do therefore creating certain levels of tension in the bilayers You don’t synthesize the sample for a long time so it relaxes in the most stable possible way,” she said “You grow it and cool it down a little bit faster than a lot of other methods Various industries eye heterobilayers and monolayers which can be used to build microchips for next generation electronics These materials can also be used for clean energy performing well in water-splitting and batteries Along with collaborators in Binghamton University Penn State University and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Elías Arriaga will be finding ways to streamline the fabrication process to match industry demands Few scientists in the field investigate this bottom-up approach given that the conventional method of shaving big crystals into smaller and thinner materials is so established But while those methods are tried and true Elías Arriaga said there is no promise of scalability on a larger level “All the very interesting physics that we’re trying to pursue will stay in the lab,” she said “How can we make the step to get out of the lab and try to think of something bigger?” Elías Arriaga is steady in her research and confident in her own expertise — but what ultimately challenged her was figuring out how to sustainably disseminate her methods and knowledge to a broader swath of up-and-coming students She will offer undergraduates the opportunity to contribute directly to her NSF project through Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences They can build heterobilayers through conventional delamination methods while studying the optical properties of such layers so she can compare the data to her own approach She also meticulously designed educational modules for a program called the Physics Outreach Project (POP) that can reach up to 500 K-5 students of wide-ranging socioeconomic backgrounds per year with the hopes of introducing younger generations to physics and science you will see fruits in the workforce forever years later,” she said “It’s not something I’m going to see right now but it’s important to start the contribution right there.” Elías Arriaga understands the value of education in making people fall in love with science were the ones who introduced her to the fascinating world of physics “How is it possible that there is so much order in nature And then that determines what the properties are and you can play with that to make novel materials,” she said It may take a little longer to see the results of her efforts whether in teaching future generations or seeing her idea used to investigate other systems and combinations of materials But Elías Arriaga’s ultimate hope is to prove to the larger community that such a method is not only possible The complexity that you bring in by adding another layer there “But you can have a lot of positive outcomes by introducing that extra complexity.” Professor wins NSF CAREER Award for materials fabrication research Facebook X EDUARD ARRIAGA-ARANGO arrived at Clark just as his peers faced new challenges and opportunities posed by emerging technologies we use computers and digital technology to explore questions in the humanities and we also question technology,” says the associate professor and chair of the Department of Language ‘How is technology improving humanity and how is it possibly decreasing the importance of humanity?’ ” Within the Higgins School of Humanities (recently renamed the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities) Arriaga helped launch the Digital Humanities Research Collaborative with colleagues from the Computer Science Department and music and data science programs and visualization in arts and humanities research Arriaga first discovered “the power of computation” to quickly compile information almost two decades ago when he was a Ph.D student in Hispanic studies and migration studies at the University of Western Ontario He conducted research in the university’s newly launched CulturePlex laboratory “We started to use those tools not to replace what we do in the humanities but to look at humanities questions from other perspectives,” he says Arriaga characterizes the differences between traditional and digital humanities as “yak and hack.” “The yak is the theoretical approach that we in the humanities usually take discussing everything and being philosophical,” he explains We want people not only to speak but also to create things to use those creations to think and then speak.” Those “things” might include a visualization (a graphical representation of data and information) a researcher could use data mining to quickly evaluate historical and literary contexts and “patterns” by analyzing other works published at the same time “WE WANT PEOPLE NOT ONLY TO SPEAK BUT ALSO TO CREATE THINGS.” “You definitely can do similar research with a pen and paper but how long would it take for you to get to these conclusions?” Arriaga asks he uses both a “yak” and “hack” approach Through a grant from the Higgins Institute he is applying digital humanities methods to investigate the connections between data mining—a process through which corporations and governments appropriate humans’ intellectual and creative work—and the extraction of minerals from the earth the physical activity of extracting value from the earth which is extracting value from data,” Arriaga says his research on Afro-Latinx and Afro-Latin American cultures and identities explores other social and ethical questions surrounding technology He is interested in how marginalized communities “apply technology but also use data to challenge how technology has been used to marginalize them and to use that power to give a message to the world that they exist and that they are human beings.” ▣ Website accessibility Nondiscrimination policy It’s a warm evening and hundreds of people are gathered at a ranch on the outskirts of

Sign In Kervin Arriaga is being transferred to a Serbian club and Victor Eriksson is heading home to Sweden to play for Hammarby Already missing nine players when this FIFA international window started Minnesota United will play on without midfielder Hassani Dotson for Saturday’s game at Portland — and without versatile Kervin Arriaga and seldom-used Swedish defender Victor Eriksson forever Dotson is suspended after he received a red card and game ejection that left his teammates a man short for 65-plus minutes in Saturday’s 1-0 home loss to Austin FC. Arriaga bid Loons supporters a heartfelt farewell after Saturday’s game, the team’s third consecutive loss. He is transferring to Serbia’s Partizan club for a reported $500,000 for the rest of the season. He will receive significantly more than the $260,000 total compensation salary the Loons paid him. Eriksson is headed back home to Hammarby in Stockholm after his six-month stay in Minnesota, during which he was injured or unable to break into the lineup. The departures come three weeks before the summer transfer window opens, allowing the Loons to add to a roster decimated currently by injuries and absences. Especially at the center back position, where veteran Michael Boxall has been playing hurt, young Devin Padelford has just cleared MLS’s concussion protocol and rookie Hugo Bacharach is out injured. “That doesn’t make life all that easy,” coach Eric Ramsay said. “It’s the same approach we’ve taken ahead of all these games where we’ll find a way to put together what is the best play for the game. We certainly have players who are capable of stepping in, another test of depth, which is shrinking weekly at the moment.” Arriaga, 26, started 42 of 57 games he played in three seasons in Minnesota and MLS. ”It’s a testament that he has gone on to play at a really good level and something he felt was important for his family to do at this stage of his career,” Ramsay said. “Hopefully, we can address the gaps in the squad in the coming weeks and month. Hopefully, we won’t miss him too much as he is gone.” Eriksson started two of four games he played in his first season in Minnesota. Ramsay called it a “difficult set of circumstances how [Eriksson] came into the club, given how long he spent without playing,” Ramsay said. “It was difficult for him to find playing minutes, so I think it’s probably best for him he pursues another opportunity at a really good level.” “We’re down, but I believe in our group and so does everyone here,” Loons veteran defender Zarek Valentin said. “We have a lot of quality and talent. We have a good system.” Padelford’s clearance will help a back line that Ramsay has structured recently with three center-backs and a wingback on either side. “He’ll be in contention [to play Saturday],” Ramsay said. “It’s a situation you can really draw on because of his versatility. He’ll be a big plus for us.” * Ramsay said star striker Teemu Pukki is probably “a couple weeks” more from recovering from a knee injury. Ramsay said he hopes Pukki will be ready by a July 7 game at LA Galaxy. He scored two goals in an international friendly against Portugal three weeks ago before being injured. “It’s unfortunate for him because it would have been perfect timing with [striker Tani Oluwaseyi] away for him to really step in a few more minutes and build on the moment he had with Portugal.” * Loons midfielder Alejandro Bran played 30-plus minutes off the bench for his Costa Rica national team in a scoreless draw with Brazil on Monday in Copa America play. “We’re pleased for him and hopefully that gives him a spring in his step as he comes back,” Ramsay said.
